I've been away for a while for a lot of personal reasons, that's been a common problem with DeviantArt for the last year and frankly it's really pissing me off having to be dragged away from here every time I come back. It's extremely infuriating because I don't want the people I've befriended here to think I'm abandoning them because I'm not, I love you guys and have since I first started this website, you're really great friends of mine and I wish to speak to you again. Well I'll give a brief synopsis; I actually passed my Creative Media course at college! With merit (Basically B+) grade to be exact and that really made me happy because I tried my damned hardest but after that I've been looking for a new college course and each and every one I applied to never replied back and it was pissing me off to no extent but thankfully I got word and was accepted onto a game development course and so yeah! That's where I am now, it's gonna be tough for the next 2-3 years as this course is the equivalent of a university course (Higher Education, it's brutal but very rewarding) but I think it would be great as it will benefit towards what I would want to do in life so I went for it!
Well with that out of the way, I want to talk to you a little bit about Doom. Why Doom? Well, I'm actually developing a mod for Doom 2 right now and it's a big mod, one man developed by me and I have some of the enemies, weapons and other resources I need for the project as well as roughly 25 beta-made maps ready to go which are definitely subject to change and am planning to release a 30 map beta at some point during development (This is what I've been working on over the summer along with being messed around by college courses, that was annoying). The mod will consist of LOTS of guns and stuff to play with, new enemy types that will go according to the theme of each map and chapter (With some deviances), new boss monsters, new menu graphics and slew of other stuff I am planning to put into the mod. It's going to be a really fun project but it will take a little while for the full thing to come out (Which is why I am making a beta for it) as I do have other projects going on at the same time as well. But nonetheless I will be working on it. It's going to be running on the ever-so-wonderful Skulltag source port which is in my honest opinion, the best source port for Doom engine games out there so I highly recommend that. I am planning for it to be fairly big, perhaps around about 60 or so maps so that's effectively twice the length of Doom 2 and that game was pretty big and long in itself, so yeah there's a LOT going on right now as you might imagine.
Also I would like to do a little bit of a promotion for my best friend, now if you have heard about ALYS; the French what-was-going-to-be-a-Vocaloid-but-wasn't CeVio, well it just so happens that she has cosplayed as her not so long ago and she was the second ever ALYS cosplayer out there and I think she did a really fantastic job on making that cosplay and she looks really pretty in it too, here's the link to her cosplay page on Facebook where you can find most, if not all the photos of that specific cosplay: www.facebook.com/EromenaCospla… - there you go! I think she would appreciate the likes and comments you give her so thank you!
Heh! Yeah a lot really has happened, to be fair I feel really bad having to abandon DeviantArt again and again and again because, well - life is just an asshole isn't it? So I think it's been made clear that I don't have all the time in the world as I used to be I reckon I can make up for it by coming on every weekend or every few days or something like that just so I can balance everything else in my life out. Because I can tell you, apart from the college course and being creative with mods, projects, storywriting, etc it has been pretty shitty for a number of reasons but a lot of those reasons I prefer not to speak about on a public journal. But there's been some great and fun moments too so it's not all gloomy but it's safe to say that I'm not as upbeat as I used to be about 2-3 years ago that's for sure.
But yeah, I had to empty my entire message box again, sorry about that, whenever I'm gone it just overflows with over 10k messages that it's just way too hard to keep up with any messages and what-not so that in itself is a problem. So if you want to talk to me, you can send a note my way or leave a comment here, I don't mind either way. But I think it would be nice to talk to some of you again, I mean I missed a lot of people from this place so yeah. I think it would be nice to just sit back and talk for a change, it would certainly relieve the stress on my back haha!
But yeah, I think that's all I have to say now, otherwise I'll just be rambling the same thing over and over, hehe! I'm always doing that so I apologize. But yeah it's great to finally post something here for a change, it's nice and actually really nostalgic. But yeah, I hope you all have a great day!!

Do You Guys Mind Helping Out?
Hello people! I just wanted to make a quick journal entry to give my friend a little publicity on her game project, MajiKana. She could use a bit of help with her project and I wanted to help her out by sharing this with everyone:
(Don't know why there's a mini picture here and not the URL but screw it) She asked me politely so I thought 'Yeah I'll go for it!' and here it is : 3 She would really appreciate if you can help her out either by sharing or commissioning her or however way you choose to support her. She's told me a lot of things about the game and it sounds very promising but I won't spoil any of the details of course. Thank you!
I've been sick and some news!
Hello everyone, I wanted to say sorry I have been away for about 2 weeks or so. I've been really, really sick and pretty much slept through most of those two weeks. I wanted to let you know why I haven't replied to comments or notes recently and that is the reason why. It was really bad and some people think it was near enough pneumonia which is a scary thing but I had it before and it's probably not that bad but still awful. However with that illness, I've also been having problems coughing and breathing and my family believes that my asthma has returned after many, many years without it. Which sucks. I like to breathe and now I have to go f
Goodbye 2014, I won't miss you.
Well, this isn't the typical happy new year journal I wanted to write as it's more of a way for me to look back on this year and how 2014 has been as there's a few things I want to get off of my chest so I think right now is definitely the best time to do this - it's going to be a long one but let's start.
I'm going to get all of the bad stuff out of the way first; 2014 hasn't been a kind year to me, in fact I would say it's been a horrible and depressing year for me, you might be aware that I'm not on too often but I've been working at coming on more often because when there is a ton of things happening in life it can become pretty difficul
Can I ask you guys a favour?
Hello! I know this journal is really out of the blue because I've pretty much gone under the radar for a few months now because I have just been immensely busy and I've had little time to do things outside of long, boring and laborious adult stuff. Being an adult definitely sucks but hey, I'm working hard towards my dream so I'm ok with that but I do feel bad for being gone but I've said this several times already and it's not the subject to my journal. To sum it up, sorry I keep going away for so long, it's all to do with important stuff and it's been quite an emotional ride for me the last few months and I want you all to know that I haven'
